the period of stewardship, the state's share of education spending went down and local spending on schools went up. for instance, my school was cut by 20% during that period, which meant that i had to make some pretty dramatic cuts, proposed dramatic cuts in my school system. we laid off teachers, paraprofessionals, public works employees and others that are critical. he presided over those cuts, because certainly the state budget was out of balance. it was a tough time and as a former chief elected official, i understand how difficult that can be. i don't think he's totally frank about the fact that his -- during his time as governor, it was very difficult for local school systems. >> and it's a question of priorities when you make tough cuts. if you pick education primarily kindergarten through 12 education, right? he also cut higher ed. >> is that right? massachusetts is one of the states that massachusetts is on the lower end nationally. >> bill: he bragged about as governor that he knows how to create jobs, not just at bain capital, but massachusetts. >> caller: our unemployment rate

plan to transfer power to local security forces by the end of 2014. syria, romney wants to give aid to neighboring states. number 3 is iran where both romney and the president say the country should not have access to nuclear weapons. plus yesterday romney promised to restore aircraft carrier groups to the region but we already have one in the gulf. and romney attacked the president for not signing a single agreement in the last four years, but he is wrong. mr. obama has signed agreements with south korea, and panama. we'll be right back. growing up i had a single mother of four and people in the community were so helpful when they didn't even have much themselves. seeing people and their hardships made me want to make a difference in people's lives to give them hope. receiving a masters degree would open the doors for me to get into a management position where i would be able to do more for people. ♪ >> announcer: broadcasting across the nation, on your radio, and on current tv this is the "bill press show." >> bill: here we go 28 days and counting. time is running o

it's down to about 14. 21% of all african-americans who work work for a state and local government. so when you are cutting jobs you are cutting jobs of african-americans. >> that's a great point. first of all whatever recovery is taking place, it is uneven. >> jamal: right. >> and when you start to see some of these state and local sectors picking up it means that better times are being spread around a little bit more. that's extremely important for the economy. let's shift to politics. you are a voter at home and the romney people are saying well you have got to change, because things -- you can't trust this guy for things to be better and the clear economic trend is that unemployment is getting better. why would you change at this particularing point? you see things are getting better. this has to be a big positive for the president. >> jamal: i can remember being a democrat in 2004, and i can remember the numbers looking better that year and you feel torn. >> sure. >> jamal: you are thinking it is getting away from us. >> yeah when things don't go bad, you hav
